Critical acclaim

Theatre for the unfocused mind…. Berger's operas are less about the wonder of hallucinations than their torment…. In both cases, music's job here is not to illuminate surrealism by revealing the wonder of hallucinations but to promote correction of torment through psychiatry. We become passive observers of pathos rather than operatic thrill seekers. –

’Visitations’ offers a rare unity of
subject matter and acoustic experience… beyond the nifty technology, Mr.
Berger’s operas stood out for their emotional honesty and the intense
performances they received from an excellent cast of interpreters. –
